Is stale cigarette smoke as bad as fresh cigarette smoke?


Question:
We all know that secondhand smoke is bad for you, but what about walking into a room where someone was smoking a few hours earlier. Is the stale smoke smell just as dangerous to inhale as the burning smoke?

Answers:
Well their is no actual proof that second hand smoke is dangerous. the "fresh" smoke is as harmful as dirty air, same thing with smoke that has been sitting around for a while. unless the second hand smoke is "hot" like it is when you inhale directly from the cigarette, it isnt doing any more damage to your lungs than breathing in dusty or dirty air.
